THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR BREADMAKER

Your bread maker makes REGULAR (1 lb.), LARGE (1 1/2 lb.) and EXTRA LARGE (2 lb.) Loaves of breads.

There are 11 settings, including one for dough.

A "Keep Warm" function prevents the bread from getting soggy by keeping finished bread warm up to an hour after the baking is completed. This function stops when the unit is turned OFF / STOP or unplugged

An "add-ingredient" function signals with an audible tone when it is time to add ingredients such as fruits or nuts to recipes used with the Basic Breads (2-3) and Sweet (8) settings. The signal tone comes on 32 minutes into the cycle (after initial kneading) so that your fruit or nuts will remain whole rather than be chopped up by the Kneading Blade. If you use the TIMER to delay baking, you may add all ingredients at once and bypass this function; however, your fruit or nuts may get somewhat "chopped".

Do not cover the bread maker with towels or other material that may prevent steam from escaping. Some steaming from vents is normal.

Do not place any objects on top of the bread maker.

Unplug the unit and wait until it cools, then remove any food substances from inside the inner case of the Breadmaker by wiping with a damp sponge or cloth. See "Care and Cleaning", page 11 for full cleaning details.

IMPORTANT:

Always add ingredients in the order they are specified in the recipe. For best results, accurate measuring of ingredients is very important. Do not put larger quantities than recommended into the Baking Pan as it may produce poor results and may damage the bread maker.

SETTING DESCRIPTIONS

NOTE: The number in parentheses following each setting description represents the total baking time.

BASIC BREADS

These settings are used for breads which primarily use white flour; though some recipes may include small amounts of whole wheat flour as well. These settings have the minimum number of rising cycles and the shortest overall times until baking is completed. Therefore, loaves will be slightly denser than French or Sweet breads.

SETTING 1 - Regular (2 hours 45 minutes)

Setting #1 is for smaller loaves and takes less time than Setting #2 and #3.

SETTING 2 - Large (2 hours 50 minutes)

Setting #2 and #3 are for large loaves. Most recipes use Setting #2. Use Setting #2 or #3 if you are adding ingredients such as cheese, nuts, or cornmeal as they tend to brown easily.

SETTING 3 - Extra Large (3 hours 10 minutes)

Setting #3 has a longer baking time and will produce a loaf with a darker crust.

WHOLE WHEAT/MULTI GRAIN

These settings are used for recipes with significant amounts of whole wheat or rye flour, oats, or bran. They begin with a delay period of 32 minutes during which the flours or grains soak in the liquid ingredients. Soaking causes the flour or grain to soften and helps ingredients to combine well. These settings also have an extra rise cycle to allow heavy wheat/grains to expand, Generally, whole wheat/multi grain breads are shorter and denser than Basic, French, or Sweet breads.

SETTING 4 - Regular (4 hours 20 minutes)

SETTING 5 - Large/Extra Large (4 hours 30 minutes)

Setting #5 has a slightly longer bake time than #4 and loaves will have a darker crust. Use #4 to obtain a lighter crust or for recipes with added ingredients (bran, raisins, dried fruit, fruit juice) which may brown easily.

SETTING 6 - Large/Rapid (3 hours 20 minutes)

SPECIALTY

SETTING 7 - French (3 hours 30 minutes)

Traditionally French bread has a crispier crust and lighter inside texture than basic breads. Recipes usually do not include butter, margarine, or milk.

SETTING 8 - Sweet (3 hours 25 minutes)

Use this setting for recipes that use fruit juice, additional sugar, or added sweet ingredients such as coconut flakes, raisins, dried fruit, or chocolate. Baking temperature is reduced to prevent burning and the extra rise cycle gives the loaves a light, airy texture.

SETTING 9 - Dough (1 hour 30 minutes)

This setting makes dough only and will not bake the final bread. Dough can be shaped to make pizza, rolls, pretzels, doughnuts and round or braided breads that must then be baked in an oven or fried in a deep fryer (ie. doughnuts). Follow dough recipes for specific directions.

SETTING 10 - Cake/Quick Bread (1 hour 40 minutes)

SETTING 11 - Jam (1 hour)

HOW TO USE YOUR BREADMAKER

The 8 bread settings in this unit will combine ingredients, knead, and make bread from start to finish automatically. The DOUGH setting makes dough for a variety of recipes but you must shape and bake the dough yourself in an oven. To delay completion, the automatic TIMER may be programmed to make bread or dough while you are at work or asleep. (See "Using The Timer For Delayed Completion" page 10)

To Obtain the best results when using ready made pre-mix select settings 1, 2 or 3.

FOR ALL SETTINGS (#1 THRU 11) FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

Open lid and remove the Baking Pan by pulling

straight up on the handle. It is important to remove the Baking Pan from the unit rather than putting ingredient into the Pan while it is in place to avoid accidentally spilling ingredients into the inner case.

Attach the Kneading Blade onto the shaft inside the Baking Pan by lining

up the flat side or the blade with the flat side on the shaft. Push the blade firmly onto the shaft.

Warning: Place your Automatic Breadmaker where it is level, stable and secure.

Be sure to set the kneading blade firmly into place otherwise the blade may come off during operation, which may affect the kneading or mixing.

Be sure the shaft is clean of any residue (i.e. dough). This will ensure the kneading blade will fully seat into place.

Select a recipe from the Cookbook section of this booklet, when

following the recipes: Measure ingredients carefully and accurately. To measure liquids, use a see-through liquid measuring cup and check the measurement at eye level. When measuring dry ingredients, use a standard dry measuring cup and level the ingredients with a straight edge knife.

Inaccurate measurement, even if only slightly off, can make a difference in results. Use standard measuring spoons and level off with

a straightedge knife. (See "Measuring Your Ingredients" page 16) Always add ingredients into the Baking Pan in the order they are listed. Yeast is always added last. Be sure that the yeast does not touch the liquid ingredients.

Liquids

Dry Ingredients (ie. flour)

Yeast

Be careful not to mix the yeast with any of the wet ingredients especially when using the delayed timer feature, otherwise the bread may not rise properly.

HOW TO USE YOUR BREADMAKER

Place the Baking Pan back into the unit with the word FRONT on the

upper rim of the Pan facing toward the front of the Breadmaker. Push down on the Pan until you hear it click firmly into place. Fold the handle down.

Close the lid and connect the plug to

an outlet. You will hear a beep sound and the display window is empty.

Select the appropriate setting for your

recipe (#1 thru 11) by pressing the SELECT button on the pad. Each time SELECT is pressed, the number in the display window will advance to the next setting.

Special Note:

If the baking pan is not installed in the proper orientation or firmly clicked into place the kneading blade will fail to operate The baking pan can only be installed in one position as indicated.

Press the START pad. The Baking

time in hours and minutes will appear in the display. For example, if you choose a recipe using the Basic Bread setting (#1) for Regular the display will show 2:45. It will count down the remaining bake time in one-minute decrements (2:44, 2:43, etc) until the bread is done. When the baking time is completed, a signal tone will sound three times and the display window will flash "END".

Warning:

Do not place the baking pan or any other object on the top of the unit. To avoid damaging the bread maker’s surface, do not put any object or the hot baking pan on top of the unit.

HOW TO USE YOUR BREADMAKER

This Bread maker is designed with a "Keep Warm" function that automatically begins when the BAKE time is completed. At the end of the BAKE cycle "END" will appear (in the display window) up to 60 minutes after baking is complete and will keep the bread warm during that time. You may remove the Baking Pan at any time during the "Keep Warm" cycle. To turn off the "Keep Warm" feature before the 60

minutes are up, simply press the STOP button and hold it for 3 seconds until you hear a "beep". END will disappear and the display window will now be empty. UNPLUG THE UNIT WHEN FINISHED. Never leave the unit plugged in when not in use. The "Keep Warm"

feature is not provided for in the DOUGH setting. If you leave finished dough in the Bread maker over a period of time, it may over-rise and produce poor results. For best results, remove dough at the end of the cycle and follow the recipe directions for shaping, resting and baking.

This Breadmaker has a convenient Viewing Window so that you may watch the progress of the bread as it is mixed, kneaded, and baked. Occasionally, some moisture may be formed in the window during processing. If moisture forms, you may lift the lid to look inside during the mixing and kneading stages, however, DO NOT OPEN THE LID DURING THE BAKING CYCLE (approximately the last hour or so) as this may cause the bread to collapse.

To remove the bread from the Baking Pan, use pot holders or oven mitts and pull straight up on the Baking Pan handle. Turn the pan upside down and shake the bread out onto a wire cooling rack. The Baking Pan has a non-stick coated finish so that the bread should come out easily. Do not use metal utensils to remove bread as they may scratch the nonstick coating. If you have difficulty removing bread from the Baking Pan, slide a flat rubber or plastic spatula along the sides of the pan to loosen the loaf. Turn the pan over and shake the loaf out. Allow the bread to cool before slicing (See "Slicing and Storing Bread" page. 10). If the

Kneading Paddle remains in the bottom of the Baking Pan, it may be necessary to fill the baking pan with warm water in order to loosen the Kneading Paddle from the shaft. If the Kneading Paddle remains in the bottom of the loaf of bread, use the end of a plastic spoon or other non-metal utensil to remove. Do not use a knife or any other sharp metal object as it will scratch the non-stick coating on Kneading Blade.

Note:

There is no "Keep Warm" feature on dough setting #9.

Do not open the lid during the baking cycle (approximately the last hour or so in each breadmaking program) as this may cause the bread to collapse.

Always check to see where the kneading blade is when removing a baked leaf of bread. If it remains stuck in the bread you may accidentally damage it by cutting into it while slicing.

HOW TO USE YOUR BREADMAKER

USING THE TIMER FOR DELAYED COMPLETION

Use the TIMER when you would like to delay the completion of your bread. This feature allows you to delay the bake time for up to 12 hours. For example, it lets you set the TIMER at 8 p.m. one evening so that you can wake to fresh bread by 8 a.m. the following morning.

TO SET THE TIMER, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

NOTE:

Be sure you have followed the "How to Use Your Breadmaker" steps 1-6 in preparing the ingredients in the Baking Pan. It is not recommended that you use the "Delayed Completion" function and TIMER with recipes that call for fresh ingredients which might be spoiled such as eggs, fresh milk, sour cream, or cheese.

To set the TIMER, determine when you would like your bread to be finished. For example, if it is 8 p.m.

when you place all your ingredients in the Baking Pan and you would like to wake up to the aroma of fresh-baked bread at 8 a.m., you will want a total of 12 hours before your bread is complete. Once you have chosen the appropriate setting for your recipe (for example, if you are doing a Sweet bread, you will push SELECT until #8 is showing in the display), you simply set the TIMER to bring it up to your total hours - in this case 12 hours.

Press the A arrow on the control panel and 3:25 - the time for setting #8 - will automatically come up in

the display window. Continue to Press until the display reads 12:00 (or is as close to this as possible, since your timer moves in 10 minute increments, your actual reading for this setting will be 11:55 or 12:05). You do not need to mathematically calculate the difference between the setting time (3:25) and the total hours you want (12:00). The machine will automatically adjust to include the setting time. Simply set the TIMER for your total hours (12). If you pass the desired time, simply press to go back.

Once you have set the time, press START. The colon (:) in the display will flash to indicate that the TIMER has been set and the countdown will begin. The TIMER will count down in one-minute increments. When the display reaches END, your bread is complete and the beeper will sound.

If you make a mistake while setting the TIMER, press and hold the STOP button until it beeps. This will clear the display and you can set the TIMER again.

SLICING AND STORING BREAD

For best results place bread on a wire rack and allow to cool 15 to 30 minutes before slicing. You may use an electric knife for even slices. Otherwise, use a sharp knife with a serrated blade. For square slices, place the loaf on its side and slice across.

Store unused bread tightly covered (zip-lock style bags or plastic containers work well) at room temperature up to three days. If weather is hot and humid, store in the refrigerator overnight. For longer storage (up to one month), place bread in a tightly covered container in the freezer. If you store the bread in the refrigerator, leave it out to bring it to room temperature before serving. Since homemade bread has no preservatives it tends to dry out and become stale faster than commercially made bread.

Leftover slightly hardened bread may be cut into 1.3 cm (1/2 inch) or 2.5 cm (1 inch) cubes and used in favourite recipes to make croutons, bread pudding, or stuffing.
